Prince's classic hit tops chart for driving songs

Posted by Freddy Morton


Drivers with Morco caravan water heaters and other campervan devices may be interested to know that Prince's classic hit, Purple Rain has been voted the top record to listen to while driving in the rain.


A poll by Uniroyal Tyres, which surveyed 2,000 music fans about their favourite driving songs, showed that the 1980s hit comes up as the best tune.


Coming in near to the top but not quite beating Prince were Travis with Why Does It Always Rain On Me, Here Comes The Rain Again by the Eurythmics and Zoe's Sunshine On A Rainy Day.


However, driving.ca suggested that the best driving song of all time is Deep Purple's Highway Star.


A spokesman from the makers of the Rain Tyre said: ''As much as we complain about rain, it is a popular subject for pop songs - there were a lot to choose from in order to whittle it down to a Top Ten."


He added that the survey is a bid to raise awareness of driving in wet conditions and whether a motorist is listening to their favourite song or not, they should be aware of lower levels of visibility.
